You can write in both languages software. They might have strengths and weakness for specific use cases, but that is a good reason to compare. So people learn these differences. I mean I compare Python to Rust in example when deciding in what language it should be. People want to learn only one language at a time, so it makes sense to compare them.
True. But I would argue it makes more sense comparing python to rust than go to rust. Scope of use cases for python is more similar to rust. Other than that - sure, you can compare Haskell and x86 assembly too, though it would be of little use.
In your initial reply you compared Rust to Go, funny enough. So people understand the differences and your opinion when to use which. And that's the point.
